Numbering options for clarity:

In my scan of the tree, the most common solution seems to be 2) as this
is essentially recommended in the sample file. 3) is well represented,
with much fewer examples of 1), though it might depend how liberally
we grep out or examine the use cases. Choice 1) also seems to be the
most shotgun approach, adding to the search path for all files. From a
maintenance perspective I agree that 2) seems more error prone,
especially when the build system only catches the error on in-tree
builds, something I rarely do. Therefore I'm leaning towards option
3). The hardcoded path here doesn't seem much of an issue relative to
the negatives of the other approaches (how often do we move these
files?) and it keeps the trace support relatively self-contained. Are
there further arguments for or against these options? Otherwise who
wants to formally post the TRACE_INCLUDE_PATH version? Thanks,
Alex
